MAIN CHANGES
v58.1 crashes upon startup in Windows 8 and 8.1 . Use v.58.2 instead.
Another short update due to technical reasons.
The game now uses DirectX 11.1, which should result in improved performance in fullscreen (and possibly borderless) modes in Windows 10 (sadly, this particular DirectX 11.1 feature is unavailable in earlier versions of Windows, so you won’t see any improvement there).
Reminder: Due to a technicality, your graphics options are always lost when upgrading between versions. In particular, you must be sure to set your desired window/borderless/fullscreen setting on each version individually.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).
COMPATIBILITY
You will lose:
- any in-mission progress
- all graphics options, which includes your window/borderless/fullscreen setting.
- if any options have been removed or added to a new version, then all menu options (not just graphics) will be lost.

BACKUPS
You are reminded that during Early Access you are responsible for backing up your own progress. Make a copy of everything under C:\ProgramData\InterAction studios\CIU
(including all sub-folders). Never rename files or move them from one version folder to another. Simply make a copy and then later put it back exactly where you found it.
